Patent attributes
A fuel delivery module assembly for a vehicle which includes a fuel delivery module for supplying fuel from a fuel tank, a flange for attachment to a fuel tank and an emissions canister for controlling evaporative emissions. The fuel delivery module includes a reservoir for retaining fuel and a fuel pump for supplying fuel from the reservoir. The emissions canister is coupled to the fuel delivery module in a sliding relationship and is arranged such that the emissions canister can be displaced along a slide axis relative to the fuel delivery module between an installed position, in which the reservoir and emissions canister overlap parallel with the slide axis, and an installation position, in which the reservoir and emissions canister substantially do not overlap parallel with the slide axis. The invention also provides a fuel tank assembly comprising such a fuel delivery module assembly and to a method of positioning such a fuel delivery module assembly within a fuel tank.
